I can do you a great deal on scurf today.
I always see it a "mange trout. I have no idea why.
No it isn’t.
You’re British. Your watchwords are modesty, self-effacement and a desire to eschew the limelight at all costs. Pull yourself together and ask someone to close this thread immediately.
I also for some reason always read it as being trout related. But now that I know how it is pronounced I won’t ever consider it to be fishy again!
I had just assumed that you weren’t a picky eater. Those folks who see “Man get out” must do a lot of those hidden picture puzzles because I completely missed that one.
For the longest time I was convinced that his name was mange trout.
I have always seen Mange tout. I guess it’s the residual Franglais from my teen years.
I also thought it was Man Get out.

I always think “Mangy Trout”, too. Or Man Get Out
StG
So, Main-gee-towt…
(I’m kidding I’m kidding I’m kidding please don’t hurt me I’m kidding!)
This reminds me of snake scat lady.
Or good ol’ Spring Ears
I’ve always roughly pronounced it as monj-2
I seem to remember someone stating that it is man get out (man get owt) as in an order for the male to leave the room.
Somewhere I always just assumed it was “Monj-too” (as in the frenchy way). I didn’t even consider “Man Get Out” until someone pointed it out.
Though it did take me forever to figure out that the other guy wasn’t Spring Ears.
When I’m being friendly (OK, when I’m feeling too lazy to type the extra letters) I refer to you as just Mange, which is charming
Just for the record, I got it right since the first time I saw it. Except that I can’t help thinking of some interesting sexual appetites.
It’s certainly the former, not the latter, although in nearly every thread like this, people seem to assert that it’s the latter and it takes a while to rein things in.
How is it pronounced in Blikster?
It’s nice to be not iced?
It’s nice to be no-tic Ed?
The ‘e’ in ‘mange’ should be pronounced roughly like the English schwa. The rule of three consonants dictates that if an ‘e’ is not at the beginning or end of a word, and there are two consecutive consonants either before or after, the ‘e’ cannot be elided. This not an airtight law however. Double consonants do not apply. And I believe there may be cases in which it may not apply if a consonant is not vocalized. But this is the general gist of the matter.
